The Straw That Might Break The Camel's Back

That is to say, if the Harper Tories knuckle under to Quebec's demand to fund a hockey stadium in Quebec City it may well be their final act driving me to vote 'none of the above' in the upcoming Election.



I turned to blind eye to their casting Canada unnecessarily into deficit position - some 50 - 60 billion dollars per annum.



I turned a blind eye to their adding to the civil service some additional 30k employees.



I turned a blind eye to their declaring 'nation status' for Quebec and,



I turned a blind eye to their doing nothing to rein in the authoritarian Human Rights Commissions



However this Proposal would just about do it for me.



If it comes to pass that is and I truly hope it will not but suspect it will.



How can a Conservative Government rationalize helping fund a Private Sports facility where young prima donnas are grossly overpaid and where owners are unduly enriched; at the same time while running a massive deficit?



As a self professed Libertarian it is relatively easy for me, philosophically, to vote 'none of the above' because for the most part I see the major Parties as being Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.



I am not saying conclusively that I will not vote Tory should they succumb to this nonsense but the odds are most favourable that that is exactly what I will do.



And I will make you a promise that in a Future Blog should the Tories go down that road - I will disclose to you how I voted.



As I see it...
